XANGO will be riding the jerseys of Real Salt Lake to Southern California to take on the star-studded L.A. Galaxy for the Western Conference finals this Sunday.

The young franchise we’re so proud to support just keeps on overachieving, earning a 3rd place overall finish in the regular season that was good enough to guarantee them an automatic berth in the second round of the Major League Soccer playoffs.

Their foe was the mighty Seattle Sounder FC, who finished second in the regular season, winning seven of their last nine games. Real Salt Lake shone in the first of the two-game series with a dominating 3–0 victory in Utah on goals from Alvaro Saborio (two) and Ned Grabavoy.

The second game was rather more stressful, for players, coaches and fans alike. On the slick artificial surface of Century Link Field in Seattle, RSL was on the defensive for nearly the full 90 minutes. They surrendered two goals in the second half, but their grit pulled them through on an aggregate score of 3–2. Tony Beltran personified the team’s will to win with an acrobatic goal line clearance to keep the result a favorable one.

The Western Conference final will be played at the Galaxy’s Home Depot Center, with the winner advancing to the MLS Cup. The last time these two teams met in the post season was in Seattle when RSL defeated L.A. in penalty kicks for the 2009 MLS Cup championship.

Fans in or traveling to L.A. for the match can get a special discount on tickets here, with promo code “Xango.” Everyone else can watch it on ESPN at 9:00 ET.

We’re with you 100%, boys! Go get ’em!
